If the thought of tying a bow in your hair reminds you of third grade, I can assure you these styles are anything but juvenile. They only take two seconds to take your look to the next level. Here are five ways to wear a bow in your hair as a grown-ass woman.

1. Tied around your neck, with your hair in a non-pony ponytail. Ally's look is killer for a few reasons: (1) the tie around her neck holds her hair back and also serves as a choker, (2) it only requires a ribbon, and (3) it's beyond chic.

3. Wrapped around the topknot in your half-up, half-down hairstyle. If half-up, half-down hair is your jam, then add a little something something around your topknot like Taylor did. Just keep the tails of the bow short so the style doesn't look too little kiddish.

4. Tied at the bottom of a braid. If braids — three-strand, fishtail, French, whatever! — are your thing, tie a ribbon at the end of it, like Dana did here, for a little festive flair (rather than just using an elastic band to keep it from unraveling).

5. Around your bun. Pull your hair up in a bun, keep it in place with bobby pins, and then wrap a ribbon of your choice around the perimeter of it, like I did, tying it off to the side.
